Subtitles and easy to understand-trump’s vocabulary is not too large..

More and better Trevor Noah.

What he says is so true and not being “born in the USA🎼 sometimes gives him a broader perspectiveClick here

Trevor Noah on recycling plastic

Informative, instructive and worrying - and funny only because it’s Trevor Noah. I don’t know what the situation is in Spain or other EU countries. Is it all recycled here or has some been shipped to poorer countries too?

Bernie Sanders is back

Another short video clip from  Trevor Noah ( he’s probably the shortest and easiest understand of the political comics.) It makes me aware again of how great Bernie Sanders is. Even at 77, he’s the one with the personality to beat Trump most easily in 2020.

Tyra Banks is an American TV personality ( Noah’s making a so-so joke cause Sanders wants to go against several banks.

One by Trevor Noah

I think what’s special about him is that because he’s a foreigner, ( he was born in South Africa and came to the US as a young adult) he has a different and broader vision of the eccentricities of US politics CLICK HERE   Again, click on “open app” to get subtitles

Very funny mocking of Trump...

And his extreme ideas about the evils of “socialism” (which to him is just public health care like in Spain, most of Europe and Canada as most Democrats wants).
Cultural notes:
1.the crazy guy with the beard is the star of a crazy reality TV show of a few years ago
2. When the doctor says to Trump “you’ve got “it”, he means a sexually transmitted disease.
3. I don’t know who Stadler and Waldorf are either but they are obviously muppets.

Seth Myers is beginning to be my favorite political comedian

Another Trevor Noah with good subtitles

About Trump firing his Attorney General and replacing him with a man named Whitaker, who doesn’t sound very legal. Jeff Sessions has been very hard on integration and arguably a racist, like Trump. But he was a person of interest in and could be indicted by the Mueller investigation, since he met with Russians during Trump’s campaign and he knew the law well enough to understand the conflict of interest, so he recused him. Since then, Trump has hated and insulted hm and has taken advantage of his win in the senate to fire Sessions now. Noah thinks Sessions looks like Mr. Clean or one of Santa’s elves. For older Spaniards- also think he looks like Arias Navarro!
